Description
Nanotechnology involves studying and changing various surfaces at atomic level in order to produce specific properties and functions – a nanometre (nm) is a millionth of a millimetre. Here, the surface of the textile has been treated so that it mimics the irregular surface of the plant’s leaves. This means that drops of water and dirt particles, which are significantly larger by comparison to the surface structure, are unable to make sufficient contact with the material and so ‘run off’. This keeps clothes much cleaner and drier.
